93 years ago, Elizabeth was born. The attack on Pearl Harbor took place when she was 19 years old. Before war's end Elizabeth had completed her nursing studies and was commissioned in our armed forces. She soon met and married another young officer, Raymond Lackey, and together they raised three children. Eventually this writer met and married their youngest daughter, Mary Lou. I never met Ray as he passed away a few years before Mary Lou and I had met. Elizabeth had moved to Wisconsin, and I travelled there to meet her twice before she passed away. Yet, through having met, their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, the family created by their marriage and raised in their love reflects the strength of their enduring values. Elizabeth and Raymond, through their family, have blessed my life. As my own sainted Father often would say, "They're good people!".
